Given how extensive your notes are on most of those books, it would be interesting to know what process you have to take them while reading. I've always been a very lean note-taker and find this is the reasons I quickly forget many valuable insights from the books I read. Any tips?

When reading a paper book, I just underline or circle the bits I find surprising or useful. Then when I'm done reading the book, I type those bits into a text file.

On Kindle, I just highlight the bits I find surprising or useful. Then when I'm done reading the book, I connect the Kindle by USB, copy the documents/My Clippings.txt file, and edit from there.
